Seems to me like this is simply a guy contemplating a huge once in a career contract offer

Do you think Carlton were in the wrong for sacking Angwin?
If you're on half a mill per year and you're loafing & a bad influence on others, I'm not willing to give that a free pass.

As a supporter base, we should demand a minimum of professionalism from players

Well, the story of Laurence Angwin, is that he was with two other players that night, one a forward star, but he was the only dummy that turned up for training the next morning. He was let go to protect the star, who was hastily traded further down the track. So no, Carlton are not a good example.

Let's just say if Dunkley walks, I think our window is shut.

C'mon Mofra, what do you know, and why the secrecy? Do tell, we won't bite. Except maybe Scrag, he seems like he'd be into that kinda thing..

Not by all reports i have read. 650k per year from Port not a hugh once in a career offer. We would be offering pretty close to that i would suspect.

 

[go the dogs]

AFL TV rights deal is huge. Would think the salary cap would go up a decent amount

With picks 8 and 11 we could rebuild our back line or rejuvenate our midfield. Our forward line is okay except for another small or two.

I've cooled a bit with my frustration with losing dunks.

I prefer to keep Dunks BUT if he goes we will be okay provided the club addresses support for Bev especially assistant coaches.

We need to address that as that impacts all our list.

 

[Here we go dogs]

The questions of culture is something I find extremely alarming.

It’s something we have been trying to address for the best part of 10 years and it would seem we still don’t have it right.

I would’ve thought 95% of our players would be clean skins.

[Merlins Revenge]

Apparently Josh Dunkley will be on 7 news tonight.

Oh shit

 

[W W Biscuit]

Apparently Josh Dunkley will be on 7 news tonight.

If this is some sort of exclusive, this would more likely point to Dunks staying put. Surely he wouldn't give an interview to say, "I'm leaving the Dogs."

 

[Dog 36]

Oh s**t

I think it will be more of one of those stories or grabs where we all hang on every word he says, read into his body language but we will all be none the wiser.

 

[bobs head soup]

Channel 7 just signed a 7 year deal with the AFL today. Is this a sign Dunkley has also just signed on for 7 more years?

 

[geoffjennings79]

He's doing a Tom Boyd, and foregoing his career and $$$ to run his pub in Gippsland. Will run an influencer gig on the side on cooking tips, and creating boring podcasts.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Apparently Josh Dunkley will be on 7 news tonight.

If his weekly channel 10 news appearances are to go by it will be boring that's for sure.

It’ll be a doorstop leaving Whitten Oval.

Maybe the Labrador having 15 puppies story fell through and Ch 7 is scrambling for another story to advertise and get the viewers in - “tonight Josh Dunkley tells how he hopes to decide soon”.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Those hubs were obviously a bit prison-like back in 2020.

Yeah, it would have been truly awful to be spending months on the sunny Gold Coast, earning a fortune doing your job while the rest of us were in lockdown and under curfew in the freezing cold Melbourne winter...

Sounds like a Tom Browne fence sitting, maybe this will happen, maybe it won't, potentially, I think, if everything lines up, according to my sources, maybe type 'exclusive'.

In other words complete bulltish.

Awful. As awful as getting on your high horse and being able to moralise over two guaranteed jobs paying somewhere between $650k and $750k+ guaranteed over multiple years..terrible position to be in...

 

[Chops]

Dunkley was our best player by a long way in the second half of the year.

If there’s any truth of him working out because of cultural issues then our door is probably shut for some time as this has to be addressed.

Not sure about that.
Its not like we dominated anyway

Why have we got 8 and 11?

My post was in reference to the comment by Mofra about the Bulldogs being labelled the 'tennis ball club'.

Tennis balls sometimes make their way over prison walls. I'm sure you can work out why.

Reminds me of the Diggers over in Gallipoli really, similar war/hero vibes as the Collingwood vs Essendon game of football held on Anzac Day.
